More LIVE ITV action on Saturday 11th October for day two of the Newmarket Dubai Future Champions meeting, plus there is also LIVE racing from York.
Plenty to get stuck into again with the ultra-competitive Cesarewitch Handicap one of the key betting races of the flat turf season, while the race is supported by the Autumn Stakes & the Group One Dewhurst Stakes, where we get to see some of the stars of the future.
As mentioned, ITV cameras are also at York to take in three races, with the feature being the Coral Sprint Trophy.
So as always - here at SUREWIN - we’ll have all the LIVE races covered from a trends angle, plus our verdicts on each race.
